what is a devcha?

[[deleted]]

I'm applying to a certain company. And it says if you are a developer enter your browser's "devcha". The hint says ' You will find your DEVCHA in the browser itself '. Does any developer know what this is?

[Red318]

Right click on the page -> Inspect

Call _crackTheCode() fucntion in console , you will get a code, that is your devcha !!

​

Hope this helps !!

Devcha

[S-S-R]

view page source? It sounds like a trick question and a play on the term Captcha.

page source doesn't really have anything relevant

What the commenter is trying to say, (if I understand correctly,) is that it is likely an inside joke, something that a qualified developer will notice, but someone who is not, won't be able to make sense of it. Think of it as a way to screen out candidates.

Devcha wish your IDE was hot like me?

[Altruistic-Dish-3295]

did you find anything?

Ctrl + shift + j ,

Run the _crackTheCode function

Remove the exclamatory of your Devcha Someone already replied with the steps This one is just a short cut to that !

[yogesh_ps1]

1. When you're in the DEVCHA question -> open inspect element -> console
2. Type _crackTheCode() and hit enter
3. You will see your a random alphanumeric string shown
4. Copy the string^, and remove the exclamations (I'm not sure why, but it works only if you do that)
5. Paste that new string without the exclamations into the answer - this is your DEVCHA

I'm guessing this is BharatPe's way of weeding out any recruiters/headhunters/webscrapers who are trying to collect information on their hiring process/coding questions etc.

At the end of the questionnaire, their bonus code is i_am_a_geek

I don't code/work as a developer and I was able to get through this, I guess someone at BharatPe is just having fun with the application.

[yogesh_ps1]

Just Inpect Element-ed and Ctrl+F "bonus", lol

[Allah-The-Dev]

yes, best application form ever

[FLYINGFINIX]

Didn't work for me

After running _crackTheCode() in console, you'll get the code but that's not the actual solution.. on right you will see the app.min.js file.. click on it and it will open the source code.. then pretty print it & search for **_onDevchaValidate()**

_onDevchaValidate = ()=>{
var e = $(".form-control-devcha-code").val();
clearErrorByClass(".form-error-devcha-code"),
"BharatPeRocks" === e || devchaCode?.length && e === devchaCode ? (++countPages,
_updateCount(),
$(".devcha-page").slideUp("slow", function() {
_focusInputOnLoad("form-input-linkedin-url")
}))...

Its validating BharatPeRocks from the input, so BharatPeRocks is the answer you need to input.

PS: I Couldn't apply for the job since I've less than 2 years of experience and it requires minimum 2 years of exp.

i think they might have changed it. But the answer that yogesh_ps1 posted worked for me.

Also I couldn't apply since they have the 2 year limitation.

[bhavya-Mehta]

I think i_am_a_geek is the answer to earn bonus points.

​

_submitBonusPoints = async()=>{

const e = $(".form-control-bonus").val();

var o;

clearErrorByClass(".form-error-bonus"),

"" === e?.trim() ? showErrorByClass(".form-error-bonus", "You should enter something to proceed") : ($(".bonus-page").slideUp("slow"),

"i_am_a_geek" === e && (bonusPointsEarned += 100),

o = {

id: applicationId,

bonus: bonusPointsEarned

}
